I am only in my 30’s, but I don’t seem to recall ever hearing about an accident where a vehicle actually falls into the Chesapeake Bay. While this accident is horrific, the tractor trailer did fall into a shallow part of the Bay beside the bridge.

Almost 24 hours later, part of the bridge remains closed. When looking online at CHART, you can tell no one is really going anywhere.

If you don’t have to go near the Bay Bridge, don’t. It will probably be a mess through tomorrow evening.
